Rather than dumming yourself down by reading Ken Rockwells website consider the source.
The f/2.8 image looks sharper than the rest. It has greater depth of field too, but it IS also sharper. The reason is simple:

If your f/2.8 image wasn't taken at ISO800 and the environment would have been bright enough to eliminate all camera shake then it would likely be close to tac sharp. Try it outside.
Sharpness of the 50mm f/1.4 reasonably good performance for a f/1.4 lens but do not expect a pristinely sharp image out of it when shooting wide open. (the top of the graph is the limit of the 350D sensor.
